ENTRY FEES: Parent-Child: $17.50 per player. Tournament fees are nonrefundable.
LEVELS OF PLAY: The Tournament Committee will group teams into similar levels as best as we can with the information available. All teams in this tournament will play in a single division regardless of gender of adult or child.
FORMAT: Match play will be a non-elimination format, either compass draw or round robin, based on number of entrants.
TENNIS BALLS: USTA-approved balls will be provided by the tournament.
DRAWS: Draws will be available on AAACTA's website at least 24 hours before the start of play. Players are responsible for checking the draws for their match start times.
MATCH SCHEDULING: All players should report to Varsity 15 minutes before the start time unless the tournament website says otherwise. DEFAULT TIME IS 10 MINUTES AFTER THE START TIME (when a court is available). Warm-up is limited to 10 minutes. You may play in this event and the Mixed Doubles tournament, but if you make it to the final day of the Mixed Doubles, be prepared to play a lot of tennis.
RAIN POLICY: All players should report to Varsity 15 minutes before the start time RAIN or SHINE, unless the Tournament Director notifies you otherwise. We reserve the right to cancel or postpone in case of rain. If the tournament is postponed, it will most likely be played during the weekend of the Doubles Tournament, July 13-14.
PLAYER AND SPECTATOR GUIDELINES: As a community tournament, camaraderie and fair play are our first priority. If players require assistance regarding rules during the match, they should raise their racquets and wait for assistance from a tournament official. Coaching is not allowed at any time.

Registration has closed. You can view the tournament here.
To register your Parent-Child team, the parent/adult should complete the registration first. The system will send a confirmation email with a link to register the other partner. Once the first partner is registered, you (the child) will be able to select them as your partner during the registration process and the system will create the team. Note: only the second partner has to select their partner's name during registration, the first partner does not.
